Handsome RENNY is a parvo suvivor!  Abandoned and left to roam the streets by cruel owners, Renny and his brother (Rory) ended up in a shelter where they developed parvo.  For these 5 month old puppies, it was life-threatening!  Miraculously, a local rescue group stepped up and offered to pay for their parvo treatment if MoGS would take them in.  We couldn't leave them to die a horrible death, so Renny and his brother are both now MoGS dogs.

Fortunately Renny's case wasn't as severe are his brother's, and Renny was released by the vet after just a few days (his brother Rory was much sicker and stayed a week). We're grateful to Dr. Richard Smith of Piper Heritage Vet in Kansas City KS.  

Renny is now healthy, a good weight, energetic and a normal, playful puppy!  He runs, romps and rolls around with the other dogs at his foster home.  He loves to run and play, and seems to really like toys and treats.  He does seem to "guard" them, however, and will get snappy with the other dogs over them.  He has also tried to mount the other dogs.  In other wors, he's an energetic and assertive puppy who tries to dominate occasionally. 

We believe he was the dominant dog of the pair, and his strength is probably the reason they both survived the streets.  Now he just needs to re-learn a few things.  He needs (a) strong canine leadership, (b) training, and (c) supervision thrown in at first.   He was  neutered on Dec. 5 2014, and that should help.

Renny has completely recovered and is now ready to find his forever family!  He needs a family who will never let him go through hell again, but keep him safe, loved, trained.  He loves his people and really does like being around dogs.  He just has some learning to do -- how to interact appropriately with other animals at all times, that his humans are the pack leaders, and so on. 

Are you looking for a furry doll who will cuddle, play, love, kiss, and grow up/old with you?  One who only requires you love and care for him in return?  Are YOU the lucky one who will share your life with this survivor?  Apply NOW!

DOGS:                   Yes, would like a doggie buddy to play with.  No dominant dogs.
CATS:                    Unknown.  Would have to be tested
KIDS:                    Would have to be tested, believe he would be fine
IDEAL FAMILY:      An active family with at least one other dog he can play with and be best buds for life with.  A securely fenced yard is required so this little guy never agains ends up on the streets almost dead.

If you're looking for an utterly adorable young furball
who just needs training and leadership from you,
RENNY may be your ideal family member!

RENNY's ADOPTION FEE:   $250
This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so o

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

1. We're picky about our adopters. 
2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
   
3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
   
5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
   
6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
